The bulk of the snow had moved out by late morning and was expected to taper off even more by the afternoon. Another weaker system will push through for Wednesday before the storm is all said and done.

A winter weather advisory will be in effect until 9 a.m. Wednesday.

Because temperatures were not as cold, a heavier and wetter snow covered the metro, causing some power outages.

Area utilities reported thousands of customers were without power. KCP&L reported that more than 45,000 customers were affected. Westar said it had 3,500 outages, and the Board of Public Utilities said it had at least 9,100 without power.
